Abstract:
The research was carried out at Jeb Ramla research station affiliated to the AL – Ghab Agricultural Scientific Research Center, Hama governorate during the spring lug of the 2021 agricultural season . The research aimed to study the effect of organic fertilizer and Olive Mill Wastewater (OMWW) on growth and yield of Solanum melongena L , its design the method of randomized complete block was followed with three replicates per treatment and on the average of 18 plants per repeater . The experiment included five treatments using different types of organic manure ( cows , sheep ) 3 kg /m2 , olive mill wastewater (2 and 3) m3 / dunum and the control . The results showed that the cultivation of eggplant with the use of organic fertilization with sheep waste has achieved a significant superiority over the other treatments in terms of the characteristics of the number of leaves ( 113.62 ) leaves/ plant , leafy surface space ( 4114 ) cm2 / plant , number of fruits ( 44.43 ) fruit/ plant and the yield of plant ( 6,153 ) g \ plant . while the differences were insignificant between the treatments of sheep waste and mineral manure ( treatment of farms ) in terms of plant height , where the sheep treatment recorded the highest values compared to the rest of the treatments (51.21) cm , followed by the mineral fertilizing treatment (48,26 ) cm , there was also no significant difference between the treatments of sheep waste and cow manure waste in terms of leaf area indez ,where the treatments of sheep manure recorded the highest values compared to the rest of the treatments (1,375) , followed by the treatment of cows manure (1,325) from. This can be concluded that the use of sheep waste in Solanum melongena cultivation gives better results in the growth and production of Solanum melongena l .
Key words : solanum melongena , organic fertilizer , Olive Mill Wastewater vegetative growth indicators , productivity indicators .
